Hello,

We are new to the camper world and we are struggling to get everything working.

Could someone please tell me where the water valve is that goes to the water pump?

Why do the batteries discharge even though we turn the main switch off each night?

Thank you,
WallaceRJ

The control center for the water valves/pump is on the driver side outer wall, just above the outside shower. Open up the compartment door and the valves to fill the water tank, hook up the city water settings, etc., are there.

Here is a utube vid on your model, maybe be different but close:

How much are they going down?

Yeah, there are "parasitic draws" on the batteries - things that remain powered up even with the main disconnect switch thrown (e.g. propane gas detector). But it shouldn't drain the batteries. Just knock 'em down a little.

How old are the batteries?
Old ones just drain on their own.
